Halo: Reach Review
STORY
Halo: Reach is a prequel to the original halo,
and puts you in Noble Team, A squad of noble Spartans,they will
experience the fall of reach as they battle the Evil Covenant.
The campaign had much better cinematics than previous games,additionally it had the same effect as Titanic where you know the end but the journey was nothin short of epicness.
GRAPHICS
Considering the scale of the game, bungie did a great job in the visual department, impressive artisitic designs and great environments in the open sandbox.
GAMEPLAY
Halo reach gameplay is untouchable on consoles, perfect blend of new features such as armour abilities , to the perfectly crafted vehicle controls. Forge world is a much better user freindly expereince.
Online/Features
This is where Halo reach shines, Campaign is played on heroic will take 9-12 hours to complete, but this campaign offers all sorts of replayability, with co op/ matchmaking and the data pads(skulls) to make it more interesting.
Firefight is much improved with its immense customisations, matchmaking and specificley made maps. Many will spend hours and hours here.
Multiplayer modes offer the traditional modes previous halo's were famous for. However now their is Invasion, versus firefight, stockpile, Arena and headhunter, all great addittion to possibly the best multiplayer game on consoles, also with theatre mode its always great to chek those highlights with your freinds especially with the rewind feature.
Forge world or little big halo in 3d. This feature is stagering, the amount of options offered here from making platforming, racing games to state of the art architecture maps. Who needs bungie the community will carry this game for another 5 years.
VERDICT
A great mature story, with solid gameplay and stagering amount of features.
Ups
Great gameplay additions in armour abilities and assasinations
Forge world is immense
GF365: "Oftentimes, video games have characters who are antagonistic and really not very pleasant. Here are some of the friendliest characters in games where you might not otherwise expect to find them."
Talented writers can build worlds that are as wondrous as real-life. Here are the best lore-rich video games for you to get immersed in.
How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.
Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.
I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy
Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.
Crows90,
I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.
narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games
The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.
I hope this just isn't some trivial retaliation for the 8.9 Halo: Reach review. This could really go for an edit with more information, bro.
10.0.. wow what a massive score.
Never played the game myself, but if it really is "that good", then i'll give it a go.
This Review Sucks, I Like Supmans Review Better.
See alot of people play Halo: reach online.
I wonder if we played together?!
Hey dude, I noticed that you used the exact words I used
in the story.....why copy mine?
